Add a little Disney Magic to that Carnberry Holiday Dish

Ocean Spray is flexing its sponsorship muscles with it’s culinary relationship with Disney and the result are some holiday dishes worth sharing. Cranberries have been a staple on holiday tables for more than 300 years. Of course, the Walt Disney World Resort chefs, helped Ocean Spray add some special Disney flare too!

“Cranberries are exceptional any time of year and pair well with just about everything,” said Larry Martin, vice president of global marketing at Ocean Spray. “By collaborating with Walt Disney World Resort and their talented chefs, we’re able to showcase a variety of festive dishes throughout the Disney property to show people how they can use the cranberry to add a dash of color, zing or pop to any holiday meal.”

Okay…. this is a pretty blatant ad for Ocean Spray. But on the off chance you have a few of those free packets of Craisins from the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival hanging around your home, or just like to use cranberries in your holidays meals, I wanted to share these delicious looking recipes. And if you can pull of that Grand Floridian Soufflé, I expect an invitation to dine at your house. :)

Directions:
On a sturdy surface place the peeled beet. With a cylindrical cutter, center the cutter on the beet and apply pressure until the cutter reaches the table top surface. Remove cylindrical cut beet from the cutter and submerge in chopped cranberries. Marinate the beet overnight, allowing the cranberries to paint the beets surface. Remove from the cranberries and rinse before slicing in ¼ inch discs. Just before serving add a ½ teaspoon of the marmalade. Serve on your favorite crackers.

Meanwhile, heat oven to 400 F. Place a cookie sheet in oven to heat while oven is on.

Once brioche balls have risen, place muffin tins or brioche pans on top of hot cookie sheet. Bake for 13 to 17 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Remove from oven; remove brioche from tins or pans; let cool.

Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, place all chutney ingredients. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a boil (2 to 3 minutes).

Directions:
Stir together cranberries, orange juice and honey in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and then simmer until berries burst, about 5 minutes. Purée in a blender or food processor until smooth. Cool to room temperature. Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer. Combine cranberry purée, egg yolks, Champagne, sugar and Grand Marnier in a large heatproof bowl; set bowl over simmering water, making sure bottom of bowl does not touch water. Vigorously whisk for about 5 minutes until foamy, pale yellow, and warm. Place in a larger bowl filled with ice water for about 5 minutes or until cooled. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
